How have Sky got the fecking cheek to put The Magnificent Seven (basically a bunch of fights that would be on Ringside or Friday Fight Night usually), on PPV?

Anyone bothering to buy this festival of minor title mid-carders?

Well to be fair, on the original bill Rhodes was due to fight for WBC light-middle weight title, and Macklin-Barker was/is a huge domestic fight. Plus the Brook-Jennings fight is an eliminator for the WBO welterweight belt. But I do agree the standard of PPVs is nowhere near as good as it was in the 90s. However, with Hatton retired, and Khan no longer with sky, there is only Haye left for sky to milk.

Just watched the Maccarinelli knock down from last night. What the hell was the referee doing letting him continue. Could see from the way Enzo was drifting on the wind that the lights were on but noone was home. Awful decision to continue the fight. Hopefully Enzo isn't too badly injured

to be fair, Enzo should have given up a few years ago, he never recovered from the Calzaghe fight

i agree he was not in a state to continue, that punch knocked his head in about 10 directions!! lucky not to be seriously hurt there.

really good boxing night though

cleverley fight was brilliant, i thought he was going to tire himself out against the tough german but just carried on pulling out more and finally broke murat.. brilliant

chisora kept a good pace up too and stopped sexton easily
